“They call it CPT — colored people time.”

AKA “unemployed”

If you are not early you’re late

I wrote about this previously, but I’ll retell it.

I once drove with a good black friend of mine to his black daughter’s home (she’s in her late 30s) for dinner. The topic of a party she was throwing came up.

My friend asked when the party was being held. She replied “Sunday at 3pm, or 4pm BPT.”

The resident white guy (me) asked “um…BPT?”

She laughed. “Oh, that’s Black People’s Time. Black just show up late. Not all of us. But a lot of us. So when we throw a party and blacks are on the guest list, we have to make adjustments for BPT arrivals.”

I replied “ahhh…that’s the opposite of WPT - White People’s Time. See, for us. it’s a mortal sin to show up late. So we will often show up 15 min early, even if the guest is not ready for us. If we are 30+ min early, we will go get coffee.”

Nobody called the media, nobody called anyone a racist, we all laughed, and learned something.

Btw, our dinner was awesome. And yes, we were on time and neither my black friend or his daughter called me a white supremecist.

I called it Southern People Time.

When I moved to the Midwest, I had to learn how to be early on SPT, so that I wouldn’t be late to appointments.
